I've made a new video series looking at books about gaming - and here's the pilot, on Game Over by David Sheff...

Excellent idea for a series! I look forward to more reviews.

I was disappointed a little to hear that others thought that the book had some stories that may not have been 100% accurate (I think it was Howard Phillips in an RGR interview), nevertheless, I really enjoyed the book. As a Tetris fan, I loved reading the full details on the history of the game.

Coincidentally, I released a new episode of the show the other week too:
